The last part of the book groups under the heading "philosophies of struggle" two more applied essays on the political economy and the political epistemology of conflicts over knowledge in the globalised landscape of higher education in general and geography in particular.Mars had been a colony for a long time and it was filled with the best scientists and technologists humanity had to offer. The second part is more specific in that it deploys the pragmatic sceptical attitude to the central metatheoretical questions of the discipline of geography. The first part of the book introduces pragmatic scepticism in relation to the general questions underwriting the philosophy of knowledge and the study of science. The book is structured in three parts, which together give a sense of the potentials of pragmatic scepticism: as a way of thinking about the world, as a way of approaching theoretical dilemmas, as a way of mapping one's inner contradictions. crafted by the happy and sad encounters with theories, things, and lifeís happenings. enmeshed in language and limited by our senses and a way of relating, i.e. Instead, I see pragmatic scepticism as a way of being and as a way of relating. I do not even like to think of it as a philosophy. Throughout the book, I stay away from the temptation to give a dictionary-like definition of this philosophy. This book distiled my own way of understanding the relation between epistemology, ontology, and politics, and the best name I found for labelling that way is pragmatic scepticism. Simandan D (2005) "Pragmatic Scepticism and the Possibilities of Knowledge" Timisoara, Editura Universitatii de Vest/West University Press, 256 pp. Providing a thoroughly contemporary perspective, the book maintains its standing as the essential resource for students and researchers across the field. This seventh edition has also been extensively revised and updated to reflect developments in the ways that geography and its history are understood and taught. An insightful and reflective examination of the field from within, Geography and Geographers continues to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date single volume overview of the field of human geography. The pace and volume of change within the discipline show little sign of diminishing this seventh edition covers new literature and important developments over the past decade. It focuses on the debates among geographers regarding what their discipline should study and how that should be done, and draws on a wide reading of the geographical literature produced during a seventy-year period characterised by both growth in the number of academic geographers and substantial shifts in conceptions of the discipline’s scientific rationale. Geography and Geographers provides a survey of the major debates, key thinkers and schools of thought in human geography in the English-speaking world, setting them within the context of economic, social, cultural and political, as well as intellectual, changes. Paper is focused on the primary reception of world geographical thought in the geographical literature of Slovak provenance. The aim is to point out which discontinuities identified in world geographical thought have been reflected in Slovakia and which have not yet been reflected. This research effort is situated in the broader context of the research of convergent and divergent features of "domestic" discontinuities in confrontation with the discontinuities identified in the development of geographical thought in the world. These are the first responses and applications of new paradigmatic approaches imported from the world geography into the geographical thought of Slovak geographers. In the next part of the paper we will focus on the primary reception of these discontinuities in Slovakia. Subsequently, we define our understanding of discontinuity and define first-order discontinuities and second-order discontinuities in the world geographical thought. In the introductory part of the paper, we outline the conceptual framework of research with an emphasis on the concept of discontinuity in scientific thought and its reception in geography.
